'' I Guarantee It Won'T Last A Day '' Poem by Bri Mar

Millions killed in wars and disputes,
Death is one of our main pursuits,
Humans are more than willing recruits,
Before genocide we do love to pray.

There’s no end to the cruelty of the human mind,
Weapons of destruction of every kind,
To the plight of the fallen we seem to be blind,
We just love to cause others affray

As the nuclear bombs rained down on Japan,
It proved to us Mans inhumanity to Man,
To end the war we claimed was the plan,
This was humankinds most evil display.

Humans love weaponry it’s in our genes,
We will kill using any means,
Bombs from aeroplanes or submarines,
Propaganda takes our guilt away

Napalm was used to kill and maim,
Large cluster bombs do much the same,
Guns and bullets what’s in a name?
Our armoury we love to portray.

Civilians and our forces razed to the ground,
In seas of blood thousands were drowned,
The end result was not so profound,
Our society is still in decay.

With chemical weapons, ‘’ thou shalt not kill ‘’
As for everything else you can do what you will,
Being shot conventionally doesn’t make you ill?
Yet poison causes politicians dismay.

World leaders shout foul they must be attacked,
They really have this war thing cracked,
Sincerity and truth they have always lacked,
Hypocrisy is what they portray.

Their rules of conflict are set in stone,
If you murder outwith them then you must atone,
If you refuse then they will disown,
You will be refused leave to stay.

To pay for these weapons they are more than willing,
Chemical or conventional their purpose is chilling,
All weaponry ever made is for the purpose of killing,
To say otherwise it’s themselves they betray.

Politicians think that what they do is right,
If it’s a war with others they want to incite,
Then the leaders and their colleagues can go in and fight,
This must be done without delay.

If It’s Murder and mayhem our leaders enjoy,
We must give them carte blanche to go and destroy,
So it’s to war our politicians we will now deploy,

‘’ I Guarantee It Won’t Last A Day ‘’
